Musings on the "Sad State of the Economy"


What have you noticed happening in our economy today, besides the obvious? We all feel that gas, food, and other essentials rising in costs. I'm interested on how the financial squeeze is affecting the little things in our lives. It's actually the little things that suffer the most.
Not being able to visit friends and family because of the high cost of gas. Not buying what we might usually use at the store. Only one trip to Walmart a month. Seeing the suffering faces sometimes at the checkout.
It makes you long for days gone by. Even if we thought that they were not that great, they sure were better than this. Which begs the question...will we ever get out of this mess? I'm sure most of us know why we've come to this enviroment, or at least we think we know. It is what we don't know that hurts us.
